Kato Introduces Line of High Power Density Turbine Generators



MANKATO, July 6, 2003 - Kato Engineering has introduced a line of High Power Density (HPD) Turbine Generators. The product line adds a significant improvement to the middle of Kato's already established product range.

Specifically designed for steam and gas turbine applications, Kato High Power Density (HPD) Turbine Generators combine high-power density with economical pricing.

Based on Kato's highly successful steam and turbine generator expertise, the product line offers the same features found in other Kato generator models including: vacuum pressure impregnation of all rotor and stator windings, extra-tough 100% epoxy solids, rugged steel construction, dynamic balancing of rotor and shaft, rigid testing and inspection.

It also incorporates features not found in competitive products, including high performance at low cost with a short lead time. It's advanced design with few parts make it one of the most economical generators available. Sophisticated software, combined with Kato manufacturing technique contribute to minimum size and weight.

Available in short cycle times, Kato High Power Density (HPD) Turbine Generators are configurable to meet an end users exact needs. Highly efficient, these high performance machines offer the following specifications:

o Power Rating: 3.5 to 8.5 MW
o Frequency: 60 Hz or 50 Hz (at 5/6 voltage and kVA), three phase
o Voltage: up to 15 kV
o Weight: 36,000 lbs (8.5 MW unit)

Since 1926, Kato Engineering has been a leading designer and manufacturer of precision-engineered, top-quality medium to large size generators AC generators, motor-generator sets and controls for prime, standby, and peak-shaving power.

Operating in the 200 kW to 15 MW range, these products are approved by most world agencies, including; ABS, Lloyds, CSA and VDE and meet NEMA, IEEE, CSA, API, and IEC standards. In addition, Kato products are manufactured under rigid ISO 9001 requirements.
